Today's card is for a new challenge blog I discovered over the weekend. It's called Color Combos Galore! Check it out. It is for both scrapbookers and card makers. The inspiration image and color combination for this week were very pretty so I decided to give it a whirl.
Here is the image/color outline:
Here is my card! Inspired, of course, by the colors...and the word "getaway!" I imagine a beautiful girlie getaway to a cocktail party outside under the trees. The trees have beautiful lanterns hanging from them providing a soft glow.... Girls just wanna have fun!
The lanterns are vellum stickers from Martha Stewart. Once I put them on the card, I embellished them with stickles glitter glue, little tiny vellum flowers and some rhinestones! BLING! I used some gold wire to hang them from.
I tried to keep the layout simple by using a lot of white space. The card base is a soft lemon yellow and then a layer of watermelon pink. I wanted the lanterns to be the focus.
I thought my adorable Hello Kitty panda seemed right at home...so I took her picture in front of the card! hee hee.
Love those paper lanterns, but I ADORE panda kitty!!!! Great job Wanda!
